Phys.org / Unusual superconductivity could emerge in valley-imbalanced rhombohedral graphene

Superconductors are materials in which electrical current flows with a resistance of zero, typically below specific temperatures. In conventional superconductors, this state of matter emerges when two electrons bind together ...
